Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read

Open to a random page

Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that pageBE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

For the first time ever I think I was really conscious today of looking for a teaser for tonight. The main reason is because I really wanted to find a quote which represented the reasons why I love reading this series - the humour, the mystery, the great characters, the fun locations. That's a lot for two lines to represent though, so in the end, despite searching while I was reading, I have ended up just opening the book and choosing from a random page, and then I cheated and chose more than two sentences!

My teaser this week comes from page 248 of Lord of the Silent, book number 13 in the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters:

I put my empty glass on the table and stood up. Emerson remained seated. '...like an avalanche,' he muttered, staring into space. 'Get out of the way...only chance...nine people and the cat...'

I love this series too. I have read most of them over the years but all out of order. I've just started again from the first book and hope to read them in order (not one after the other though - don't like doing that)

About Me

My adventures through time and place, all without leaving the pages of my book. Reading is what I do to relax and escape, and talking about reading is my favourite hobby. You might find me immersed in historical fiction or romance, young adult, a mystery or a fantasy, but you can be sure that whereever I am, I will have a book with me!

If you have read and reviewed a book that I have reviewed, then please, feel free to add your link in the comment for that post and I will add your link into the body of the post so that other readers will be able to see what you thought as well.
